the modern smart tv and many sockets in the room were convenient. the bathroom was well-kept and included a bath. the welcome pack contained useful information, including local telephone numbers and details for nearby food outlets. i also requested and received an iron and ironing board promptly.

the bread available at breakfast was not of good quality. it was thin and tasted cheap.
